When Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Kemmu Broke Bollywood Stereotype With Simple Wedding

Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu got married on January 25, 2015. This year, the couple celebrated nine years of togetherness. Now, months after the occasion, their wedding video has resurfaced on social media. At a time when lavish Bollywood weddings comprising exotic destinations, pastel-shaded bride-groom outfits, and elaborate pre-wedding functions have become the new norm, the celebrity pair’s simple marriage ceremony caught the attention of many. From traditional nuptial costumes to following conventional rituals, the masses have been gushing over Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu’s dreamy but intimate wedding clip.

The video was dropped on Instagram on May 8 and has been gaining traction ever since. It opens with a close-up shot of Soha Ali Khan, featuring her bridal makeup, jewellery, and mehendi. The scene shifts to Kunal Kemmu, looking out of the window. The actor was seen getting ready for the big day. With a turban wrapped around his head, he slipped into a white sherwani and juttis to marry the love of his life.

After a warm welcome from Soha Ali Khan’s family members, Kunal Kemmu and her then-bride-to-be performed the wedding customs. The Rang De Basanti actress looked like a queen in a crimson and white lehenga from Sabyasachi. They looked into each other’s eyes affectionately, laughing fondly as the special moments were recorded. Glimpses of the sangeet ceremony also appeared in the clip. It captured dancing romantically to the tunes of a song with her beau. The reception and sangeet functions were held on January 26.

Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu tied the knot at Sharmila Tagore’s Mumbai residence in Khar. “A wedding that was straight out of a fairy tale,” read the caption of the clip. Social media users were quick to react to the now-viral video. “Very simple and beautiful,” lauded one individual. “The love and respect they have for each other in the eyes,” pointed out another. “The cutest couple,” noted a person. Others went all hearts in the comments.

Soha Ali Khan was in a relationship with Kunal Kemmu since 2009, before getting engaged in 2014, followed by the wedding the next year. They became proud parents to daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu on September 29, 2017.
